--- Comment #5 from Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org> ---
Quite the contrary, it is far more useful than dangerous:  It is not
uncommon for embedded systems to boot with a absolutely minimal root
filesystem compiled into the kernel, and /sbin/init in that filesystem
will mount the "real" root over / and exec the "real" /sbin/init.

(And remember: FreeBSD delivers tools, not policies).
